Real Housewives of Dubai stars Chanel Ayan and Lesa Milan are best friends forever. Or so we thought. Everyone knows that at some point during the second season, their friendship goes sideways. So much so that the two besties are no longer speaking to one another. We got a small taste of their falling out to come during the cast trip to Bali in RHODubai Season 2, Episode 9. But even though they are going through hard times, Ayan still has “love” and “respect” for Lesa.
Chanel Ayan hopes the Dubai Season 2 reunion will help her fix her friendship with Lesa Milan
The fight between Ayan and Lesa in Bali was a doozy. It all started when Lesa shared Sara Al Madani’s voice note in confidence to Ayan. In the recording, Sara was talking about Caroline Brooks, but then mentioned she didn’t care for Taleen Marie. It was confusing, and Lesa wanted Ayan’s input as to who Sara was talking about.
But then Ayan spilled the tea about the voice note to Lesa’s mortal enemy, Caroline Stanbury. Then Caroline brought it up during the dinner in Bali. Both Taleen and Sara agreed they should have been the ones that were mad, but they were totally fine. It was Lesa who was furious, and claimed she couldn’t trust Ayan anymore.
This accusation rocked Ayan to the core. Both recounted that when Lesa went to Ayan’s room to talk about it, Ayan cussed her out. The two had never gotten into an altercation like that before. However, the next morning they made up. Was this the turning point in their friendship going south?
Ayan made a guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live to spill the tea on the reunion and her feelings for Lesa. Andy Cohen asked, “Who will have the most to answer for at the reunion?” Ayan replied, “I wanna say something quickly. I think people don’t understand that I’ve always had a lot of love for Lesa. And a lot of respect for her. I think that it’s sad where we are. But I hope we can fix it.”
Ayan then predicted she’d be in the hot seat for the reunion. She said, “I think that the person that might have a lot to answer for is probably me, from the voice notes.” Sounds like Ayan and Lesa will have front row seats right next to Andy at the reunion!
This week’s episode of theReal Housewives of Orange County, “Dinner Party Disaster,” was a bit of a snooze.Last week’s episode ended with Katie almost being scored into the earth by Heather. Tensions are still at an all-time high as Valentine’s Day approaches. Hopefully, the women can start feeling the love soon. Emily and Shane celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary with a “wholesome” photo, and Tamra finally loses her cool with Shannon. Here is your Real Housewives of Orange County, Season 18, Episode 5 recap.

When I die, I want to be reincarnated as Heather. Even though she was on a morning-after rampage at the Balboa Bay Beach Club, she still had a pretty solid life. As Heather slurps down orange juice, she can pull together one hell of a Galentine’s breakfast, complete with face masks. And say what you want, but I love Terry’s two cents when it comes to the girl’s drama. It turns out the doctor likes it when paps takes photos of him. He actually wants Katie’s friend’s number to give him the heads-up next time. Honestly, it’s hilarious, Terry!
But amidst the joking, Heather is questioning Gina’s loyalty. The actress is confused and irritated at the whole situation, and rightly so. However, according to Gina, she thought it was in her best interest not to have said anything about Katie’s gossiping. But Gina can always admit when she made a mistake and she tells Heathr she “f*ked up.”
Katie bonds with Shannon

It’s the day after the drunk-driving event, and it’s Valentine’s Day! I’m sensing a new showmance between Shannon and Katie. Ms. Beador, who is notoriously not good with the new girls, tells the cameras, “Sometimes you meet people, and you can banter.” I can see her heart growing two sizes already! And even though Shannon might be considered a bit of a Debbie Downer, Katie is trying to get to know her. It seems like Katie and Shannon might be allies in their shared annoyance with Fancy Pants.
Shannon, who spent most of her time hiding behind a lamp on the golf course, tells Katie, “I was admiring you for holding your ground with Heather.” It was then that Katie showed Shannon the receipts, aka the text. And you know this will be used further down the line. Katie also opened up about how she thinks Gina hung her out to dry noting “She’s terrified of disappointing Heather.”

So far this season, Gina has had multiple sit-downs with numerous cast members. Honestly, that coffee bill must be starting to pile up. But finally, Katie and Gina meet up to clear the air. The newbie told Gina, “I feel abandoned by you; you took Heather’s side. I feel like there was a way to stay neutral.” But even though her friend was in tears, Gina was not about to support the new girl through her bullshit. The real estate agent declares that she should have had Heather’s back more and isn’t willing to take Katie’s back under the circumstances.
I love Katie, so when she broke down, I felt it for her: Katie clearly felt betrayed and pushed to the side. It is pretty obvious Gina was never going to back Katie, and that’s just par for the course for the woman who’s always riding the fence, afraid to anger anyone in the group.
Alexis has changed

I never thought there would be a world where Tamra and Alexis would be breaking bread or cookies. The self-proclaimed “happy-go-lucky Lexi” is annoying, but it makes sense why she is trying to bond with Tammy Sue. She needs an ally. Tamra starts spilling the tea immediately, claiming she always tried to help Shannon out. And no sooner has Tamra taken a breath than Alexis is back defending her man.
Alexis states that John is rarely drunk around her. While snacking on a Crumble Cookie, Tamra drops a bomb, saying that Shannon told her that she did, in fact, “borrow” money for the $75K facelift. If Shannon’s face could move, she’d be frowning right about now.
It’s your funeral

I’m not sure why Gina decided to throw a dinner party, but it was good to learn she was “allergic to a**holes.” Everyone is invited, including Queen V. I thought the biggest faux pas was going to be Tamra showing up in Gina’s confessional look. But nope, before cocktails could be drunk, shit was hitting the fan. I’m starting to think that Heather isn’t wrong for wanting to always have seating cards. Again, Vicki is back to being Shannon’s plus one and support animal. Immediately, she is stumped by the entrance to the dining room, which leaves my jaw on the floor. But honestly, how has Victoria never seen a secret door to another room? You’re doing too much, V.
It’s a spider web of conflict

The Tres Amigas are making it clear that their fiesta days are over. Tamra can’t stop herself, and as the waiter starts to take orders, she notes, “Oh yeah, an alcoholic should drink.” You could hear a pin drop. But it’s not for Tamra to be the drinking police, however she’s well within her right to be concerned about her friend who chose to drive drunk. Tamra pounds the table and screams that Shannon is an alcoholic. In the background, between the high-pitched yelps, you hear Tamra whisper, “Liar liar, Spanx on fire.”
Meanwhile, Alexis’s cocktail must have hit because she pipes up to once again talk about Johnny J. But in a moment of clarity, Vicki asks the all-important question of why she is always backing John. Alexis simply notes, “I’m confident in everything John says ’cause I’ve watched his actions.” Also, why was Vicki always backing Brooks Ayers? Sit down, Vicki.
God spoke

In perhaps the most bizarre part of the evening, Vicki, disgusted by all the fighting, stands to deliver a sermon. The former orange-holder notes, “This is toxic to me. You have to be kind. Humans need to do that, especially when we are women of faith. I know you believe in Jesus Christ. We don’t treat people this way.” Pot/kettle with a little Jesus thrown in for good measure.
Vicki dolling out advice on how to act is comical. But Bravo was ready and cued up ten years’ worth of clips of the OG acting a fool. Someone needs to remind Vicki of the meaning of church and state. There is no mercy when it comes to the world of the Real Housewives of Orange County.

Family Karma is the anti-Housewives show. The show title says it all. Rather than being about status, fashion, and unpleasant, screaming catfights, Family Karma is simply about family.
The Bravo show page describes the show as “an intimate look at seven Indian-American friends navigating life, love, and careers while balancing the cultural traditions and expectations of their traditional parents and grandparents.”
It’s a feel-good show about several families who relocated to Miami from India looking for a better life. The parents brought their Indian values and traditions with them. But their kids grew up in America and sometimes struggle to reconcile their family traditions with their American culture. But the glue that holds everyone together is the love shared by friends and extended family.
Back in May 2023 when Bravo announced their 2023-2024 slate, fans of Family Karma were dismayed to see it missing from the lineup. Viewers didn’t hold back with comments such as, “WHERE IS #FAMILYKARMA?” and “This better not be an announcement that #FamilyKarma is canceled. Don’t play with me @BravoTV!”
Despite being arguably the most wholesome and family-oriented show on Bravo, Family Karma is also important for its LGBTQIA+ and Asian American representation. One Twitter user nailed the situation: “You canceled Shahs of Sunset and now Family Karma? Makes your AAPI Heritage Month commercials a joke.”
One of the main storylines of Season 3 was the buildup to the wedding of Amrit Kapai and his fiancé Nicholas Kouchoukos. From Amrit’s telling his elderly Indian grandmother that he was marrying a man and being embraced with unchanging love to the culmination of their lavish multiday wedding held in Alpharetta, Georgia, it was a joyous celebration of acceptance and inclusion.
At the awards ceremony on May 13, as Amrit accepted the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Reality Program alongside his parents and Nicholas, he told a story. When Amrit was a senior in high school, he ran for Senior Class President. He was “tall, lanky, kind of awkward, and very closeted.” He had no chance of winning, and when they announced the election results and he didn’t win, he just “wanted to disappear.”
“But right now, standing on this stage and winning this award,” he said, “in this moment, I feel like the Senior Class President.” I’m not crying, you’re crying! Is someone chopping onions?
Please, Bravo, how can you cancel such a heartwarming show? We need a little positivity in our lives. We have so few sources of love and acceptance these days. This show deserves a Season 4, especially now that Amrit and Nicholas have begun their search for a surrogate in their quest to have a family. We don’t need more Housewives in our lives. We need Family Karma.
All episodes of Family Karma are available for streaming on Peacock.

There are a few sacred rules in the world of Real Housewives. You don’t go near the husband, and you don’t talk about the kids. Unfortunately, Real Housewives of New Jersey are crossing both lines, and Andy Cohen has some thoughts.
The Daddy of the Housewives appeared on the podcast, Bitch Sesh: A Real Housewives Breakdown. He was there to dish on the RHONJ Season 14 finale, and Andy talked about how having kids of his own has him seeing all of these situations differently.
A new perspective
Andy has two kids, 2-year-old Lucy and 5-year-old Ben. Since becoming a dad, Andy said it’s given him a whole new viewpoint on what the women go through on The Real Housewives.
“My perspective on The Housewives has shifted a little bit since becoming a dad,” Andy told the hosts. “Just because I pay attention to different…you know, I look at it a little differently.”
During the RHONJ Season 14 finale, Luis Ruelas bizarrely said he wanted to see Margaret Josephs and her son “suffer.” Obviously, you don’t need to be a parent for that comment to give you the heebie-jeebies, but Andy explained how he would react if someone mentioned his kids in such a belligerent way.
“If someone that I didn’t care for invoked either of my children’s names, I would go…as ‘mellow yellow’ as I usually am, that is what it would take for me,” Andy explained.
He continued, “Danielle Cabral’s button is ‘Don’t talk about my husband’s pecs.’ Mine would be, ‘If you mention my children in an unfavorable way.’ Like, I would go absolutely mental. I assume that’s just very common.”
Andy’s perspective on his shows will probably continue to evolve as his kids get older. Once they’re old enough to start watching Bravo, that’s going to open a whole new can of worms. For now, they’re in a Snoopy phase, far away from the toxic drama of Housewives. Andy probably wants it to stay that way.

Let’s be honest. Everybody on The Real Housewives of Orange County has told a lie at some point. Some do it more than others, but a little bit of fibbing kind of comes with the job territory. Tamra Judge has been a part of the show for over a decade, so you can only imagine how many falsehoods she has under her belt at this point.
Thankfully, Tamra is doing a little better with her nasty habit of spreading misinformation. Blame it on the baptism or perhaps her brief break from RHOC. Whatever happened, she’s doing better now and can own up to her past mistakes.
During a recent episode of Two Ts in a Pod, she reflected on the biggest lie she ever told on RHOC and how she ended up getting caught. Here’s a hint: it had to do with a horrible email Shannon Beador received from her now ex-husband.
Tamra and her co-host, Teddi Mellencamp, were playing a game of Plead the Fifth when they started talking about Tamra’s past lies. The RHOC star was challenged to relive her worst one, and she immediately had one that came to mind.
According to Tamra, the worst lie she ever told happened during Season 9. At the time, Shannon and David Beador were having marital trouble, and thanks to Tamra, it all came to the surface.
Tamra said that before filming a scene with Heather Dubrow and Shannon, Tamra spilled the beans about an email David sent Shannon. In the email, David essentially told Shannon that he wanted a divorce.
“I knew that Shannon’s husband had sent her an email breaking up with her. Saying that he wanted to end their marriage or something like that,” Tamra recalled during the recent podcast episode.
“And I think there was more details. I don’t remember them. And so, I was with Heather filming and I said, ‘Can you just go easy on her? She’s going through some sh*t,’” Tamra continued.
The ladies filmed their scene without talking about the martial issues. Shannon and Heather had their own little beef at the time. However, when the cameras went down, Tamra told Heather everything she knew about Shannon and David’s doomed relationship.
“I go, ‘David split up with her. Like, he wants out of the marriage.’ And [Heather] is like, ‘What?’” Tamra explained.
Tamra didn’t think much of it and went over to Shannon’s house to film another scene. Little did she know, Heather went around blabbing about David’s email to her other friends. One of those girls called David’s mistress, and then all hell broke loose.
Tamra said she was sitting with Shannon when all of a sudden, her phone started blowing up with angry text messages from David. He was furious that other Orange County Housewives were gossiping about his breakup email. If you need to relive this, it all happened during Season 9, Episode 10.
“He basically repeated everything that I had repeated to Heather. So I was sitting on the couch. And [Shannon] goes ‘Did you tell Heather?’ I go, ‘No!’” Tamra recalled.
If you remember the direction of Season 9, then you know that this mishap was just one of Tamra’s many mess-ups. She was a full-time pot stirrer that year. When the entire cast confronted her on a cast trip a few episodes later, she ran away and vowed that no one would ever see her again.
Obviously, Tamra learned a very valuable lesson. The next year, she found Jesus. She came back to the show in Season 10 vowing to never lie or stir the pot again.

Reality TV fame has been a whirlwind for Summer House newbie West Wilson. When he first came onto the scene in Season 8, well fell in love with him. By the end of the season when his romance with Ciara Miller fell apart, we all collectively got the ick at the exact same time.
Regardless of the ups and downs, West is filming another season of Summer House, and he recently opened up about trying to navigate the criticism from fans. It’s not for the faint of heart.
West had to wade through the feedback

After the Season 8 reunion aired, West got hit with a lot of criticism for how he handled his breakup with Ciara. He recently told Decider that he’s doing good now, but the level of feedback he got was initially a little overwhelming.
“Even when the show was airing, I learned every day how many people watch this show, which is more than I ever thought, and how many people have opinions about everything,” West recalled.
Of course, West’s failed situationship pales in comparison to some of the other Bravo scandals we’ve seen recently. It’s not like he crashed his car into someone’s house, scammed elderly people, or cheated on his girlfriend of eight years. He and Ciara just didn’t work out. He was afraid to commit, but he said he grew from the experience.
West said, “So, yeah, when it happened, obviously, no one’s ever really ready for anything like that. I think it would be a mistake to go through something like that and not try to reflect and take away something and learn from it and grow from it.”
With that in mind, West said coming back into the fold for Season 9 felt “pretty natural.” Despite the heated exchanges at the Season 8 reunion, he said the rest of the cast welcomed him with “open arms.” Surely, the fans will too.

After a brief pause in airings, our Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2, Episode 9 recap has finally arrived! Still in Bali, the ladies last left us on read via a TO BE CONTINUED sign. In this week’s episode, “Note to Be Trusted,” Lesa remains ticked off at Ayan for leaking her voice note. However, Ayan is equally disturbed by Lesa, who no longer trusts her. Enter Sara, organizing a healing event for her cast, but as RHODubai Season 2, Episode 9 showed, sometimes, healings don’t last.
Lesa’s shared voice note fallout continues
Last week, a flashback emerged, showing Ayan playing a voice note from Lesa. Stirring the pot, Stanbury brought this up at their dinner table later that night. In turn, Brooks sat, stunned, as the explanations remained just out of reach on Sara’s frozen tongue.
Returning to their shell-shocked table, an upset Lesa urges Ayan to play this note aloud. Ayan presses play, and we finally hear Sara’s complete message.
“You did what’s right, regardless of who the person was, and I get it. And you explained yourself. You’re like, ‘Even if I’m not Brooks’ fan, I will still not stand for that,” Sara’s voice says tiredly to Lesa.
Thankfully, Sara can explain this away. Turning towards Taleen, Sara tells her friend that her very vocal fight with Brooks at Stanbury’s housewarming party sucked. “When I heard you screaming, ‘Where’s your husband,’ I wasn’t YOUR biggest fan. I was upset because she [Brooks] is divorced, [and] I’m divorced,” Sara recalls.
Everyone gets it. Sara was speaking about Taleen, not Brooks.
“I need Brooks’ fantasy private jet to come get me,” Stanbury chides in her confessional. Had she known this message originated from Lesa, Stanbury would have taken this storyline to her grave.
“I apologize for throwing you under the bus,” Stanbury tells Ayan. “We are f*cking done,” Ayan responds, flicking Stanbury off.
“A snake can always change their skin, but they’ll always be a snake,” Lesa tells Stanbury. “Thank you, Lesa. I feel the same about you, darling,” Stanbury retorts.
Ayan leaves, upset with both Lesa and Stanbury.
Lesa and Ayan are not okay

Lesa excuses herself from the table to check on Ayan. The screen goes black as the words “20 MINUTES LATER” appear. Behind a closed door, Ayan wails as a sobbing Lesa exits her room, asking production for “a minute.”
Calmed down in her interview, Lesa explains, “I get to Ayan’s room to check on her, and she shouted, ‘F*ck you … How dare you embarrass me in front of the girls?'” But Lesa is also mad at Ayan for sharing her voice note with Stanbury.
Lesa cries to her husband on the phone, calling Ayan “a bitch” for flipping the blame onto her.
In her room, Ayan reveals that she told Lesa about this voice note well before their dinner, letting Lesa know that Stanbury wanted Ayan to share it at some point. And yet, Lesa had the gall to act shocked at the table. “You are lying about my name,” Ayan stresses, noting that she “kicked that b*tch out of her room.”
In the hallway, Lesa tells Brooks what transpired between herself and Ayan. Brooks squeals happily in her confessional, excited that “The house of cards is falling.”

Everyone but Ayan heads out to enjoy the nightlife in Bali. They all let loose at the club. But as Stanbury notes, they were “drinking petrol,” aka cheap liquor, so it was gross.
Taleen finds a hot enough, long-haired man in the club and introduces him to Brooks. Brooks says nope, joking in her confessional that Taleen’s olive branch is a bust.
Sara does her best to protect her costars from “ending up in Jeffrey Dahmer’s freezer,” as they freely party on the dancefloor.
“The Water Blessing” win

Ayan awakens, ready to join the cast on Sara’s spiritual trip. She tells Lesa they should talk before they depart because she loves her. Lesa stands up, crying, asking again for “a minute.”
Ayan follows Lesa. They talk it out. This house of cards is now fine (ish). In contrast, Ayan remains p*ssed off at Stanbury.
But “today is all about positivity,” Sara explains, telling the ladies they are going to a waterfall, where they will spiritually scream out their traumas. Stanbury’s van pulls over. She vomits out last night’s “petrol.”
Both vans finally arrive at Sara’s destination. Their guide has them change into sarongs. Stanbury tells Taleen that Ayan is ignoring her, which she hates.
Their guide hands them each a basket filled with burning offerings (incense) that they will lay and pray before various statues. Lesa skips this part because it conflicts with her Christian values. “Lesa, where was your moral high ground last night,” Taleen jokes in her interview as the cameras show Lesa dancing in a cage at the club.
After doing as instructed, the ladies (minus Stanbury) enter the water. They climb on the rocks surrounding the waterfall and begin screaming. Lesa screams the loudest, sharing that she is finally letting her brother’s death go.
After, the ladies hold hands, thanking Sara for a peaceful day.
The water can only heal so much on RHODubai

Later that night, Lesa doles out outfits and some are far better than others.
“I got the worst color,” Taleen says. Agreeing, Stanbury notes, “Your skirt looks like someone did a poop.”
As for her short, rose-covered gown, Stanbury hates this as well.
“I would have never chosen mustard yellow. I don’t wear mustard yellow,” Brooks yells as the credits roll on RHODubai Season 2, Episode 9.

There’s a hurricane of drama in the Below Deck Mediterranean midseason trailer. Captain Sandy Yawn lets go of at least one crew member, and it’s not pretty. This time the chef messed up more than just cold eggs and bad steak. Relationships are turned upside down when a love triangle turns into a square with the arrival of a new stew. There’s also the little matter of a hurricane barring down onto the super yacht. There’s only seven episodes left, so let’s get into it!
Captain Sandy Yawn wants to fire the chef, and hires a new stew who also falls for Joe Bradley in the Below Deck Med Season 9 midseason trailer
The drama is intense in the remaining episodes of Below Deck Med. Bravo’s The Daily Dish has the tea with the midseason trailer. It kicks off with chief stew Aesha Scott serving a guest some tuna carpaccio with pineapple caramel. Seems harmless enough. But then the guest tells Sandy, “I can’t eat raw seafood, because it can kill me.” This severe allergy had to be listed on the preference sheet, right?
Sandy was furious. She tells chef Jono Shillingford, “Raw seafood can kill her. And it’s in front of her plate.” Jono looked stunned. Sandy said in her confessional, “What the f*ck? We could have killed her. I don’t have a choice, I have to fire him.” It’s honestly shocking Jono lasted as long as he did. He’s not quite ready for that superyacht life just yet. Could Sandy have a change of heart, or is it curtains for him?
The upcoming charter guests aren’t as easygoing as the ones we’ve seen so far. A few boss around the interior team demanding alcohol or asking them to move furniture out of their purview. Ever the professional, Aesha took it in stride. She said, “If I cared that much about rich people being rude to me, I would have quit years ago.”
And speaking of quitting, shockingly the interior crew is still intact. With all the drama between Elena Dubaich and Bri Muller over rank, laundry, and Joe Bradley, you’d think one of them would have left by now. However, the two are still vying for Joe’s affection. At one point they do seem to wise up and realize he’s been playing both of them. But do they do anything about it?
New stew Carrie O’Neill joins the fray, and she is an admitted, “pathological flirt.” Joe tells Nathan he’s already got his plate full with Ellie and Bri. He said, “I’ve already had two, I’m not after another one.” Nathan clapped back, “You’re definitely going for another one.” Bri had her two cents too. She said, “I was the starter, Ellie was the main, and now she’s the dessert.” Is there anyone else on the boat to date besides Joe?
Things also get tense between Ellie and Aesha. Ellie is seen packing her bags and muttering, “I don’t know why Aesha is just blaming me and making me the scapegoat.” Later we get a shot of Bosun Iain Maclean, and Sandy saying, “That’s a fireable offense.” It’s not clear if it’s about Ellie or Iain, but with their behavior this season it could apply to either one of them.
Things get worse for everyone once a hurricane arrives. Iain shouts, “The crew cabin is absolutely flooding!” No one knows where the water is coming from either. Can Sandy and crew weather the storm? It will definitely be an exciting ride to find out!

We have gathered today to say goodbye to the Real Housewives of New Jersey franchise as we know it. For years, we’ve laughed, screamed, cried, and typically enjoyed watching this once (mostly) family-oriented series. However, as the RHONJ Season 14 Finale Episode, perfectly titled “When All Is Said and Done,” proved, this series is dead, as physical aggression, harmful rhetoric, and zero paths forward have all entered the chat. Did anyone save the number for Margaret’s florist? Either way, here is our Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 Finale recap, where the love, love, love has officially left the building.
Jackie “is dead” to Margaret
Fessler arrives at Margaret’s for some “good red” wine, cronuts, and conversation. Once settled, Marge shows her an image of last week’s flowers, causing Fessler to quip, “Get the f*ck outta here!” In response, Margaret explains, “When someone [Teresa] does something so absurd, they deserve an absurd response.”
Fessler also reveals something. Margaret’s “good red” wine is garbage.
Jackie is equally dead to Margaret, as she attended Teresa’s infomercial session. To say thanks, she hates it, Margaret will “be dropping some bombs” soon, teasing, “If Jackie thought the texts were bad that I revealed to Dolores, Just. You. Wait.”
Dolores heads to Margaret’s house. “Bring red wine. Her wine sucks,” Fessler jokes. Once Dolo arrives, Marge greets her with sage, laughing that Dolores is “at the devil’s house.”
Dolores questions Margaret about her interactions with Luis’ ex. At first, Margaret didn’t reach out to anyone. But after a year filled with information “coming out” about Luis, Margaret changed courses. At this point, “absolutely,” yes, Margaret reached out to his ex, but “never about putting stuff out.”
“Margaret, I don’t know why you would talk to her,” Dolores sighs. Margaret notes she only reached out to validate the Bo Dietl stuff.
“Why would the ex know what Luis was doing if they’re not even allowed to speak to each other?” Dolores asks in her confessional. In-person, Dolores calls Marge out on her Season 13 reunion “summit.” Dolores thanks Margaret for not inviting her, and they fight because Margaret says she did, “in passing.” Paterson comes out of Dolo, and this friendship’s almost over. But, true friends can fight and then squash it; as this pair did here.

Danielle and Melissa head to Rachel’s, where Danielle fills them in on Teresa’s meeting. Melissa reveals that Luis’ people have approached everyone. So Margaret doesn’t deserve this hate.
They switch courses, discussing “the last supper” that’s coming up, where they plan on airing their grievances. Melissa has nothing to say to Teresa. But we all know she’ll speak when the tensions are high.

Danielle texts her dad. He answers. It’s nice, and hopefully there’s a path forward for the two of them.
The ladies begin preparing their fits for their last supper. Paulie commends Dolores for “bringing water to the horse,” referencing Teresa’s often misspoken phrases.
At Teresa’s, Luis stresses, “I hope Margaret and her family suffer. She’s a disgusting, vile human being.” Luis zeroes in on Marge’s son, saying he hopes he “suffers like I suffered.” He also hopes Margaret apologizes. Weird way to go about getting one…
As for Margaret, she has a “few final things to say to Teresa. But when she finds out the real truth [about Jackie] all bets are off.”
Luis calls Margaret “garbage,” slams Rachel’s husband, and states that Melissa isn’t worth Tre’s time because “she’s full of sh*t.” Teresa agrees, but she’s glad she kept the peace with her brother while their parents were alive. Multiple flashbacks play, showcasing better times.
I cried. This series used to be great.

The ladies arrive as flashbacks continue playing, further breaking my spirit. Teresa arrives last, immediately saying no to sitting across from Margaret. Dolores asks the ladies to act right.
Danielle begins by telling Aydin that she paid for her charity event. “You’re hustling everybody for free because you can’t afford things,” Aydin answers. She also tells Danielle that she’s jealous of her. Danielle disagrees because Aydin’s “house is empty.”
Aydin calls Danielle a clown. “I go home, my husband is waiting for me at the door,” Danielle quips. “Your husband with the boobs?” Aydin asks. Danielle stands, shoving some of the table’s contents at Jen, as Teresa engages, yelling at Danielle to “cut it out.”
“Cut it out? You’re the queen of this sh*t,” Melissa tells Teresa. “F*ck you,” Teresa yells, as Melissa calls her “white trash.” Teresa calls Mel a “whore” on repeat as Mel smiles, imitating Teresa’s stance.
Production enters, suggesting Danielle should leave. Fessler exits. Everyone else returns to the table. Aydin states she feels safe enough to continue filming alongside Danielle.

Up next are Margaret and Teresa. “March of 2022 was the first time I ever spoke to the ex,” Marge begins. “Now it’s a different story,” Dolores notes in her interview.
Teresa then brings up Margaret’s “smear campaign” on Luis. Margaret says she never planned any takedowns. Jackie disagrees in her confessional, calling Margaret “full of shit.”
Rachel jumps in, questioning if Luis is forthcoming with Teresa. Teresa throws this back at Rachel, saying John Fuda isn’t “forthcoming with his past.” Rachel then tells Teresa not to bring up her man, and to keep his name out of her “hot dog-lipped mouth.” Teresa notes Rachel did it first.
Margaret then brings up that weird warrior video of Luis, which Teresa accused her of leaking. This is Marge’s bomb. Jackie met with Luis’ ex, so maybe she leaked it, Marge reveals. At first, Jackie denies this, but then she owns up to it, and OH MY LAWD, WHAT?!
“It was Jackie the whole time,” Danielle laughs. Margaret tells Teresa she “subpoenaed the wrong bitch.” As for Jackie, Teresa’s fine, which confuses Jen Aydin. She thinks once the dust has settled and this actually lands for Tre, she’ll be furious; she just didn’t want to give Marge the satisfaction of a win here.
Their lunch ends. “This group is no longer a family,” Dolores The Godfather notes. “This felt like a death,” she ends, as the credits roll on RHONJ Season 14.
